I agree! I had planned on putting that in there along with a couple other right wing cartoons that I thought were ridiculous. But when Cagle was giving problems, I decided not to. That education one slipped through, and I did not realize it until I looked at the post just now. I will find the other two cartoons so you can see what I was going for.

When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. I thought that by ruling out any way to bypass the debt limit, the White House was setting itself up, at least potentially, for an ignominious cave-in. But it appears that the strategy has worked, and it’s the Republicans giving up. I’m happy to concede that the president and team called this one right.

Speaking on the AM740 KBRITE Christian radio show, “The Bottom Line,” Donnelly said guns are “used to defend human life” and that’s why they have a religions mandate.

According to Donnelly,

“They [guns] are used to defend our property and our families and our faith and our freedom, and they are absolutely essential to living the way God intended for us to live.”

The Huffington Post notes that Donnelly himself has been known to carry firearms illegally. Last year, he was stopped by the TSA for attempting to bring a loaded Colt .45 handgun with four rounds onto a plane. It was discovered in screening at Ontario International Airport. He was also carrying a magazine with five more rounds.

Donnelly did not have a permit and claimed he had the gun with him because he was worried about death threats.

INDIANA inaugurated Mike “Choirboy” Pence its fiftieth governor earlier this week–apparently we had to–and while I can pretty much swear I’ll have nothing nice to say about the man from here on out, I will grant that he gave every impression of a man who was wearing a tuxedo for the second time in his life.

The Transportation Security Administration says the scanners that used a [supposedly] low-dose X-ray will be gone by June because the company that makes them can’t fix the privacy issues. The other airport body scanners, which produce a generic outline instead of a naked image, are staying.

As we know, fascism was eventually defeated in World War 2. But just before the end of the war, with the fascists on the ropes, the Vice President of the United States at the time, Henry Wallace, penned an op-ed for the New York Times warning Americans about the creeping dangers of fascism – or corporate government.

He defined a fascist as, “those who, paying lip service to democracy and the common welfare, in their insatiable greed for money and the power which money gives, do not hesitate surreptitiously to evade the laws designed to safeguard the public from monopolistic extortion.”

About our Banner

The Sky Dancing banner headline uses a snippet from a work by artist Tashi Mannox called 'Rainbow Study'. The work is described as a" study of typical Tibetan rainbow clouds, that feature in Thanka painting, temple decoration and silk brocades". dakinikat was immediately drawn to the image when trying to find stylized Tibetan Clouds to represent Sky Dancing. It is probably because Tashi's practice is similar to her own. His updated take on the clouds that fill the collection of traditional thankas is quite special.

You can find his work at his website by clicking on his logo below. He is also a calligraphy artist that uses important vajrayana syllables. We encourage you to visit his on line studio.
